State agencies report telematics findings on vehicle use

The Fleet Management Division must provide or arrange services to manage state vehicles, including telematics. This covers state vehicles owned or leased by West Virginia state agencies. The law took effect 90 days after passage, on June 10, 2026.

Spending units using the Division's telematics service, and those exempt from it using another service, must report actions taken in response to telematics data each month. These duties apply to state spending units that use the Division's telematics service or, if exempt, use an alternative service. Only spending units exempt from the Division's telematics service must report violations and other unsafe driving found through an alternative service. Those spending units must notify the Division immediately about an accident, collision, or other reckless driving behavior. The law took effect 90 days after passage, on June 10, 2026.

The Division's annual fleet report must include telematics information, agency responses, and a cost-benefit analysis. The report covers the state vehicle fleet and telematics use. The report must summarize violations and agency responses overall and by spending unit. It must assess program costs, estimated savings and cost avoidance, and whether telematics benefits exceed costs. The Division must submit the report by December 31 each year.

The law repeals the section on legislative compliance audits. The repeal applies to the legislative compliance audit section of the state vehicle fleet law. The repeal took effect 90 days after passage, on June 10, 2026.
